LD standards for me personally is how often to I have to hit pause till I stop laughing.
Personally seasons 1-8 were compared to any comedy historically phenomenal.
According to LD standards most would agree that seasons 2 &3 didn't have a single week episode or week moments.
I'm never giving LD a pass for season 9 which had two hysterical episodes the other eight fell flat on LD standards. But despite some bits being a bit overdrawn the mixture of cartoonish and shtick was so the incredible this season it was in Formula "Palestinian Chicken" & "Mr Softee". Would have loved to see more of a LD Ted Danson escalation. JB was on top of his game.. Suzy was the best since "The Doll's Head". Even Richard Lewis looking like the Crypt Keeper was phenomenal. Do I miss the funk of course it's not the same without him but Vince though brief was shined in those moments. From the opening scene breaking the millennial self phone pole for selfies to his shop going up because of a careless penis, it was for the most part nonstop laughs.
